International Partnerships at United Nations Headquarters Volume 13, Issue 2 SUBSCRIPTIONS NOW AVAILABLE/RESTORATION.NIWRC.ORG OF NATIVE SOVEREIGNTY AND SAFETY FOR NATIVE WOMEN Restoration june 2016 International Partnerships at United Nations Headquarters Volume 13, Issue 2 SUBSCRIPTIONS NOW AVAILABLE/RESTORATION.NIWRC.ORG Lucy Simpson “The spring of 2016 was a dynamic season for our Executive Director national movement and a very busy one at NIWRC! NIWRC The NIWRC Board and staff were honored to coordinate with the White House on the United State of Women Summit and the National Institute of Justice to inform tribal leaders and advocates of its new report on violence against women. It was also exciting to assist in organizing a full-house performance of Sliver of a Full Moon at the National Museum of the American Indian. In this season, NIWRC also expanded its education role by coordinating two Congressional briefings, both filled to capacity. With these developments, and the gains of the last few months to create a dedicated tribal funding stream under the Victims of Crime Act, we recognize that even though we have a long road ahead, historic changes are happening on a daily basis.” Jacqueline “Jax” Agtuca “The exciting milestones toward creation of Editor a tribal funding stream under the Victims of Restoration Crime Act are a reflection of an increased awareness and concern for the safety of Native women. As we look toward the reauthorization of the Family Violence Prevention Act in 2017 and VAWA in 2018, now is the time for the national movement for the safety of Native women to examine the next set of reforms required to strengthen the sovereignty of Indian nations to protect Native women. The groundswell we experienced in the struggle to win VAWA 2013 must be reignited and built upon. The stronger we are as a national movement the greater the potential is for real change in the daily lives of Native women. As Tillie Black Bear often said, “We must be ready to stand for the safety of Native women at any time and at any place.” Instructions on how to use the QR codes in this magazine 1.

Since the February Restoration update, the important advances toward creation of a dedicated tribal funding under the Crime Victims Fund is exciting and refreshing. This proposed reform will address a long-standing historic inequity. It has the potential to remove a legal barrier denying tribal crime victims access to services provided under the Fund through tribal governements and on tribal lands. Currently, states and territories receive annual funding under the Fund, while Indian tribes do not. The Victims of Crime Act (VOCA), the original legislation passed in 1984, does not include Indian tribes. As a result, Indian tribes receive less than 1% of the Crime Victims Fund. While collections under the Fund reached a high of $2.8 billion in 2013, state governments passed through a mere 0.5% of the available funds to programs serving tribal crime victims from 2010–2014. Over the last decade, the NCAI Task Force, tribal leaders, and the tribal grassroots movement have raised concerns that Indian tribes do not have the same access to the Crime Victims Fund as other governments. Tribal leaders consistently expressed these concerns during previous annual USDOJ VAWA consultations. In addition, NCAI passed a resolution in support of amending VOCA to create a dedicated Indian VOCA program during the Anchorage 2014 national conference. We encourage everyone concerned to follow and voice his or her opinion regarding the need for a dedicated tribal VOCA program. This Restoration provides highlights of this struggle on pages 11–13. The NCAI Task Force on Violence Against Women has worked for more than a decade to steadily increase the safety of Native women on a national level. As with each volume of Restoration, we hope this information assists you in understanding the many new developments in our efforts to increase the safety of Native women in the United States!

  • Native American Settlement to 1969
    29 Context: Native American Settlement to 1969 Francisco Patencio outside the roundhouse, c. 1940. Source: Palm Springs Historical Society. FINAL DRAFT – FOR CITY COUNCIL APPROVAL City of Palm Springs Citywide Historic Context Statement & Survey Findings HISTORIC RESOURCES GROUP 30 CONTEXT: NATIVE AMERICAN SETTLEMENT TO 196923 The earliest inhabitants of the Coachella Valley are the Native people known ethnohistorically as the Cahuilla Indians. The Cahuilla territory includes the areas from the San Jacinto Mountains, the San Gorgonia Pass, and the desert regions reaching east to the Colorado River. The Cahuilla language is part of the Takic branch of the Uto-Aztecan language family and all the Cahuilla groups speak a mutually intelligible despite different dialects. The Cahuilla group that inhabited the Palm Springs area are known as the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians. The Cahuilla name for the area that is now Palm Springs is Sec-he, “boiling water,” named for the hot springs located in what is currently the center of the Palm Springs business district. The springs have always provided clean water, bathing, and a connection to the spiritual world, and were used for ceremonial and healing purposes.24 The Cahuilla people refer to themselves as ‘ivi’lyu’atum and are ethnographically divided into two patrilineal moieties: the Wildcats and the Coyotes. Each moiety was further divided into clans which are made up of lineages. Lineages had their own territory and hunting rights within a larger clan territory. There are a number of lineages in the Palm Springs area, which each have religious and political autonomy. Prior to European contact, Cahuilla communities established summer settlements in the palm-lined mountain canyons around the Coachella valley; oral histories and archaeological evidence indicates that they settled in the Tahquitz Canyon at least 5,000 years ago.25 The Cahuilla moved each winter to thatched shelters clustered around the natural mineral hot springs on the valley floor.

  • Tribe Drawn Into Both Sides of Palm Springs Development Fight
    Tribe drawn into both sides of Palm Springs development fight Download story podcast 11:47 PM PDT on Monday, May 28, 2007 By JENNIFER BOWLES and STEVE MOORE The Press-Enterprise Video: Cahuilla elder Alvino Siva talks about Chino Canyon PALM SPRINGS - For most people, navigating the four-mile drive along boulder-strewn Chino Canyon is simply a way to get to the city's famous attraction: the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, which whisks riders high into the San Jacinto Mountains. But the mostly untouched desert scrub on either side of the two-lane road long has been a battleground between environmentalists and a developer who wants to build Shadowrock, a resort with a boutique hotel and high-end homes. And now, generations of Inland American Indians are divided over the terrain. Story continues below Rodrigo Peña / The Press-Enterprise Cahuilla elders Alvino Siva, left, and his sister Katherine Siva Saubel, both of Banning, oppose projects proposed for the Chino Canyon area of Palm Springs, including one advanced by the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians. They consider the land a tribal treasure. The local tribe, the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians, recently announced that it has signed a "letter of intent" with Shadowrock officials to develop about 160 acres next to the proposed site of the resort. The tribe owns most of the 160 acres, but one portion of the land is owned by a single tribe member. Shaman's Spirit Some Cahuilla elders are against the move. They say the canyon is sacred, once home to one, possibly two, villages and named for Pedro Chino, a shaman and tribal leader whose spirit they say still lives there.
